In November of 2015, the Red Sox dealt four prospects to the Padres for closer
Craig Kimbrel. Along with
Logan Allen,
Javier Guerra and
Carlos Asuaje, they also sent the Friars a highly-touted outfielder named
Manuel Margot. The kid is now a fixture in the San Diego outfield (CF)—and is hitting .323 with 2 HRs so far this season. Now,
Craig Kimbrel is a star closer, and, despite his maddening tendency to walk the first two guys he faces in the ninth, he will probably have a fine career in
Carmine Hose. But if Margot becomes a perennial All-Star for 15 years, we might—at some point down the road—be questioning
Dave Dombrowski's judgment on this one.
